🥋 NEW EPISODE ALERT — Mind Sensei Podcast | Episode 74

“The Essential Principles of Ed Parker’s American Kenpo”

with Senior Master Lee Wedlake | 10th Degree Black Belt

This one has been a long time coming.

This week on Mind Sensei, host Peter Tas sits down with one of the most respected names in American Kenpo — Senior Master Lee Wedlake — a man who trained directly under Ed Parker, served as his Midwest representative for eleven years, and has spent over five decades teaching, refining, and preserving one of the most intelligent martial art systems ever created.

We’re talking about his brand new book — Essential Principles of Ed Parker’s American Kenpo — and trust us, this is not your typical technique manual.

Lee goes deep on:

🔹 Why rigidity is a liability in real combat — and what to do instead

🔹 The three power principles that every Kenpo practitioner must master

🔹 What Master Keys are — and why they simplify everything under pressure

🔹 The Four T’s — Tools, Timing, Targets & Travel — and why missing just one destroys your technique

🔹 The mental and ethical weight of being trained to protect yourself

🔹 How to move from mechanical repetition to true spontaneous mastery

Whether you’re a white belt, a seasoned black belt, or a martial arts instructor — this conversation will change the way you think about training.
